(Well, some less then others. )

With all that said, I find it amusing that the machines/programs of the Matrix, or the Cylons of Battlestar Galactica, hate humans so much, and despise their imperfect biological bodies and minds, when in fact... they are just the same.
What a beautiful metaphor for all the racial, religious, ethnic, and other conflicts we as a species are prone to.

Re: What Song Are You Listening To Now┐

Last night I had a dream and I remember I was singing a very good English song in my dream. I forgot the melody and its lyrics but my voice was very good; the song was written by no one; I was walking and singing it at the same time in the morning light.

Now suddenly it comes up on my mind while I'm cleaning the house, it makes me laugh :-D

Gotye - Somebody I Used to Know.

This song is to me brilliant. Not my usual cup of tea, but I fell in love with the weirdness, uniqueness and brilliance and guts of this guy to attempt something like this in this day and age where the technological crap they call rave and house have taken over.... I miss those days where you could actuall SEE guitars being played, SEE drums being struck and SEE Real people singing, instead of a computer arranging all the so called "music"

Sorry if I have offended any person, but, once a ROCKER, always a ROCKER! Yee Hah!

Not forgetting the lovely Kimbra's bit at the end, of course I've heard this song a lot recently as it's been number 1 in the UK chart for the last few weeks. And very good it is too.

Yep, she absolutely makes that song! Interesting fact is that Gotye struggled for some time to get this song finished. Then, he had the amazing idea of adding Kimbra as well as letting her sing from "his ex-girlfriend's" perspective. That is what makes this song work.
